When I tie down a air filled rubber tire, I try to get it so that I actually tie down to something solid like lumber or ??.

I tie it down so that if for some reason, I hit something, the load doesn't go and get me. Hence I try to have one chain to the rear, one to the front and a middle one that is pretty close to straight down but will help keep the load from shifting forward or back.

I have typically bought my chains from auctions. They are cheap and usually in good shape. Take a look if you buy used to see if they have been used to bind bouncing stock. The links might be a bit elongated.

Safety is always a good priority.
